[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry, we went through the same thing w my parents and it was just so sad and hard. Agree w your thought to take him to the VA hospital tonight. They may admit him and from there you can determine w the social worker that he cannot be cared for at home and they’ll figure out a placement for him. Your other option is hiring full time care at home now and seeing what happens. W my dad we did full time care at home, bc both parents really wanted him to be home as long as possible. Then he had a fall, he was taken by ambulance to the hospital admitted and ended up in palliative care in a nursing facility. He was in much worse shape than we actually realized and passed about a month after being in care. I think if your dad is sleeping a lot, very weak etc he may be at this point as well. It was honestly a blessing for my mom to get him into a facility it was so difficult for her to care for him at home. I’m so sorry. It’s just so hard. [/quote]
